Violations of Child Rights due to Myanmar’s tumultuous situation have created a pressing need for innovative approaches. In response to these needs, three committed law students, Lae Lae Win, Sandar Linn, and Yin Yin Htwe, are joining forces to address Child Rights violations in Myanmar. Their multi-faceted initiative includes awareness campaigns, focused group discussions, assessments of juvenile justice, and advocacy training. Despite potential challenges such as security risks and governmental cooperation, they are determined to create impactful and sustainable solutions. Through a strategic and innovative approach, the trio seeks to provide legal empowerment and awareness, contributing to a just society where children’s rights are respected and promoted in Myanmar.
